NATO Secretary General press conference ahead of the NATO Summit in Washington 🇺🇸, 05 JUL 2024
Pre-Summit press conference by Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg ahead of the NATO Summit in Washington, 5 July 2024.
Previewing the Washington Summit at NATO Headquarters, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that support to Ukraine will be NATO’s “most urgent task”.
🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
Good afternoon.
NATO Heads of State and Government will meet in Washington next week at a pivotal moment for our Alliance.
Our Summit will be an opportunity to celebrate 75 years of the most successful alliance in history.
But more than celebrate, we will take decisive decisions.
We will increase our support to Ukraine for the long haul;
Reinforce our collective defence;
and deepen our global partnerships.
Our most urgent task at the Summit will be support to Ukraine.
Ukraine must prevail, and they need our sustained support.
So at the Summit next week, I expect heads of state and government will agree a substantial package for Ukraine.
First, NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine.
NATO will take over the coordination and provision of most international security assistance.
With a command led by a three-star general,
And around 700 personnel working at a NATO headquarters in Germany,
And at logistical nodes in the eastern part of the Alliance.
This will not make NATO a party to the conflict.
But it will enhance Ukraine’s self-defence.
Second, a financial pledge.
I expect Allies to affirm their determination to support Ukraine in building a force capable of defeating Russian aggression today, and deterring it in the future.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, Allies have provided around 40 billion euros in military aid each year.
Allies agree that this is a minimum baseline.
And I expect Allies will decide at the Summit to sustain this level within the next year.
I also expect that Allies will agree to share the burden fairly, taking into account the size of their GDP,
And provide sustained level of funding for Ukraine to prevail.
We will review this level of support at our Summit in 2025,
Not least to ensure that our support is in line with Ukraine’s needs.
Third, more immediate military support to Ukraine.
I expect Allies will provide further air defence systems and ammunition.
As well as other capabilities.
Fourth, more bilateral security agreements with Ukraine.
Many have been signed already.
And I expect more by the time of the Summit.
Fifth, deepened military interoperability.
We will agree to work more closely with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Including at a new NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre in Poland.
We will also work together to build Ukraine’s defence industry.
And deepen our cooperation on innovation.
All the work we are doing together is making Ukraine stronger, more interoperable, and better prepared than ever to join our Alliance.
I discussed this with President Zelenskyy here at NATO just a few days ago.
We agreed that all of these elements -
a NATO command;
more funding;
more military support;
more security agreements; and
more interoperability;
constitute a bridge to NATO membership,
and a very strong package for Ukraine at the Summit.
So Ukraine is moving closer to NATO.
Deterrence and defence will be another important topic for our Summit.
Since Russia’s aggression against Ukraine began in 2014, NATO has fundamentally transformed.
Today, we have 500,000 troops on high readiness;
Combat-ready battlegroups in the eastern part of the Alliance for the first time;
More high-end capabilities, including fifth generation aircraft; and
two highly committed new members with Finland and Sweden.
At the Summit, we will take further steps.
Allies are set to endorse a pledge that will strengthen transatlantic defence industrial cooperation, to boost production.
We will also further enhance our ballistic missile defences, with a new Aegis Ashore base in Poland.
Our strengthened defences have been made possible because Allies are spending more.
23 Allies, a record number, now invest at least 2 percent of GDP in defence.
Defence spending across European Allies and Canada is up 18% this year alone,
the biggest increase in decades.
Allies are taking burden-sharing seriously.

Thankfully Rutte will is the successor.
Згідно з Конституцією України, ми не можемо припиняти території. Це частина України. Ми повинні його захищати. Він належить Україні, і ми повинні виселити всіх російських агентів із суверенних територій України. Україна має сильних людей і право на територію..

It's good that he dodges question about USA president Biden. (does not want to antogonize)
Jens Stoltenberg is a real hero & a great leader. We thank You for his excellent service & his dedication to serve NATO. 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🙏
NATO SHOULD GET EVEN STRONGER THAT IS THE BEST STRATEGY AGAINST THE AXIS OF EVIL
Thank you for your invaluable leadership Jens. America is proud to have served under you. Happy late 4th of July everyone! 🇺🇸
Will Hungary have access to the conference? Can he bring VP with him ?
I see. The Republic of Korea is a representative of democracy. The agenda of the Washington Security Cooperation Conference is joint obligations and Recommend as a civil society safety net.
Very good answer, concerning Pres. Biden.
N.A.T.O. should rebrand itself into a global alliance, in order to get bigger. With countries like Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea or any others that don't fit into the current paradigm of the alliance
Jens, you are the spine of NATO and you are inpossible to replace!!!!! You are the best and the world will miss you!! Love from Sweden, må väl !!!!

Thats ok if and when Russia invades Hungary no NATO countries will support him
A gentleman..
Australia, Japan, Korea and New Zealand should join NATO and should maybe change the name to something more global.
It's good a man who thinks with borrowed head will be out of Office
Приємно, що Україна ближче до НАТО. Реформи вже на підході. я оптиміст що Україна справді відповідатиме доктрині НАТО і це вийде гарно.

Polska jest bardzo miłym sojusznikiem Ukrainy. Muszą jednak wzmocnić swoją obronę przed zagrożeniem ze strony Białorusi. Mieli z tym pewne problemy i należy to uważnie monitorować.
I’m really going to miss Jens Stoltenberg! He has been the best NATO leader ever. He has led admirably and strongly during the toughest test the Alliance has ever faced in its 75 year old history. I really hope that they name the NATO building or street it sits on after Mr. Stoltenberg as his service demands such recognition.

What are the issues with Hungary? What is their position now? What are their demands? It should be clarified more. They are now the part of european leadership, so it's quite an important issue to know their current position.. They have already made some reforms in the course of time, so they are able of change, it just needs to be clarified, what is their exact position. I think, that it may be workable, if they provide enough information..

Hmm
The 75th anniversary of NATO and Russia thinks they can undermine that ? what a joke . slava Ukraine
NATO has strong 'mandate' now and America can clearly be a part of the effort. It doesn't depend on the president of the US. NATO is a separate organization. US is a member of NATO, it's not a leader of NATO. US has a history. NATO is an Allience, it's not a puppet of some US politicians. America is more than a sum of some politicians. There are many nice American people..

Jens 🤗💖⚡
Hungary should be thrown out of NATO.. Orban has multiple Chinese and Russian deals for his country.. he is fairly close to Trump on running businesses - it is all about money!
🪶
Top thanks for the great press conference
There is still some work to be done in regards with the UK.. It needs more talks.
What a great partnership it would be to see Jens Stoltenberg participating with Donald Trump, Ulf Kristersson and Alexander Stubb in NATO! I am convinced that Jens Stoltenberg is a fundamental leader of the NATO Alliance! Much love from Stockholm! 🦢
Det er fint at du hele tiden velger riktig vei. At du ikke er veldig rystet over fristelsen. Vi kan gjøre verden til et fungerende sted. Rettferdigheten og normaliteten kan seire over det onde.
북한이 그토록 러시아를 지원하기로 선택한 것은 안타까운 일이다. 최근 회의에서 그들의 핵심은 분명히 러시아를 지지하는 것이었습니다. 그들은 다른 쪽을 선택할 기회가 있었지만 러시아를 선택했습니다.
Why didn’t NATO also invite the Philippines to the Summit along with the other Asia Pacific countries? The Philippines is the one country in that region who has recent conflicts with China.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ukrain will be part of NATO soon and that will be great
Ukraine should prevail
Dose not matter what , Russia will win , Nato and US lost badly 😅
